Seems like quite a few have a story about power lines... myself included. I was loading corn on semi trailer"s with a Kinze grain cart and a JD8960 4WD. The trucks/trailers were parked along the edge of the field near the power lines, just inside the poles where the wires had the most ground clearance. During the day I never came close, but as it became dark, the guys driving the trucks stayed more on the road than in the field edge. After I completed unloading on one trailer while pulling away I began folding the auger on the cart. I just happened to look back and to my shock I had snagged a power line. Getting it off the auger wasn"t as simple as backing out the way I came into it, not with the big articulating JD 8960. Luckily there was enough stretch (I had it pulled atleast 6 foot from where it should have been) in that power line that I didn"t do any damage to the line, the equipment or myself. Lesson learned. Be cognizant of where your at at all times.
